At 7 pm, the sea shimmered with lights, reflecting the image of a young woman standing alone, leaning on the railing and gazing dreamily towards the distant horizon. As soon as Ethan stepped out of the taxi, his eyes were quickly drawn to the girl's silhouette. After all these years, she hadn't changed a bit. However, in life, there are some things that, once they happen, can never be changed again. Just like a spilled water bowl, how can it be filled again? If it weren't for her mentioning their child, Ethan really wouldn't have wanted to come here to see her. "Have you been waiting long?" Trying to cast aside the turmoil in his mind, Ethan quickly approached Victoria's figure and laughed gently. Hearing his voice, Victoria finally turned around and looked back at him. Today, she deliberately wore a light pink dress. It was the same dress she had worn when they first met. Back then, it was pouring rain, and she was trying to ride her old Martin bike to her part-time job in the
Watching their backs as they left, Ethan turned back to the little girl: “Are you alright?” “Yes, I’m... I’m fine!” she replied timidly, seemingly scared when Ethan’s gaze met hers. At that moment, Victoria bent down to pick up the girl’s white rabbit-shaped hat and handed it to her. Her eyes filled with kindness. She smoothed the girl’s messy hair and smiled: “Little girl, don’t be afraid! He’s a good person and often helps people like you!” While saying this, Victoria playfully narrowed her eyes at Ethan. Knowing her intentions, Ethan could only shake his head and chuckle. Then, he turned to the little girl and asked gently. “Little girl, you don’t look very old. What grade are you in this year? Why aren’t you at home studying instead of doing a job like this at this hour?” Ethan knew that being a mascot was an extremely tough job, and the pay wasn’t much. Usually, only students with complex financial situations took on such part-time jobs in the evenings. Moreover, this job al
Seeing a young man with two girls entering the restaurant, the waitress couldn't help but feel curious. One girl was elegantly dressed, exuding an air of nobility, while the other wore a fluffy animal costume, her hair a bit messy. The waitress looked at the trio with a puzzled expression. Feeling the waitress's gaze, the girl shyly tugged at Ethan's sleeve, whispering, "Maybe you two should go in first. I... I don't think I should go in." Understanding her embarrassment, Ethan didn't say much and held her hand, leading her into the restaurant. Feeling the warmth from Ethan's hand, the girl's heart pounded incessantly. Although Victoria felt a pang of jealousy, seeing Ethan's pure gaze devoid of ulterior motives, she smiled and followed them in. Seeing the three large bowls of beef noodles on the table, filled with abundant meat, the girl involuntarily swallowed her saliva. Hungry... "Go ahead and eat, don't be shy! The noodles here are delicious, and the price isn't too high,
“Where’s your medicine cabinet? I’ll get some cotton, disinfectant, and adhesive bandages to treat your wound.” At first, when she fell, Victoria didn’t feel anything. However, now that Ethan had carried her home and she sat on the sofa for a while, the pain suddenly came. But because she wanted to appear strong and not show her weakness in front of him, she could only endure the pain and point toward the medicine cabinet next to the kitchen. “It’s over there, it has everything you need!” Following the direction she pointed, Ethan spotted the neatly arranged medicine cabinet and quickly retrieved the necessary medical supplies. After treating her wound, he embraced her again and placed her in the bedroom. Carefully covering her with a blanket, Ethan gave her some instructions before planning to leave. However, Victoria suddenly grabbed his hand, a pleading look in her eyes. “Can... can you stay with me tonight? I’m... I’m a little scared!” Feeling her trembling hands, Ethan hesi
"Son-in-law, have you arrived?" Upon entering the hospital, Ethan saw his mother-in-law's forced smile directed at him. He was momentarily at a loss for words, his face stiffening slightly. Fortunately, at that moment, Melanie emerged from the patient's room. Seeing the two looking at each other silently, she started a conversation. "Ethan, your timing couldn't be better. The doctor told me someone must go downstairs to handle the discharge paperwork. Moreover, my supervisor called and said that after today's meeting, the company would hold a party. It's a celebration of my return and a chance to mingle with the new boss!" Seeing Melanie's beaming smile, Ethan couldn't help but feel as though he was taken back to the time when they first met. Back then, although there was a lingering unease in her heart that couldn't be unraveled, and he was in a difficult situation, the two had an unspoken connection, never revealing their sadness to the world. They even had many joyful moments t
The two of them got into a taxi parked near the hospital gate. After driving for more than ten minutes, the cab stopped in front of a commercial building in the city center. Ethan got out first, carefully opened the car door for his wife, and then took a 100 dolla bill from his pocket, handed it to the taxi driver, and walked with his wife inside. However, as they entered the main entrance of the commercial center, two men were coming down the stairs. Usually, Ethan wouldn’t have paid attention, but they were just about to go upstairs. Seeing these two men, Ethan’s face changed, and Melanie also looked displeased. Because both of these men were very familiar, moreover, one of them was the person Ethan had ordered to be expelled from the city just the day before. But for some reason, this guy was still here. And the two of them seemed pretty close. “Ah, isn’t this our great son-in-law? Didn’t you write your resignation letter just a few days ago? Today, you brought your wife here.
Hearing Victoria's tone, Albert was furious, but he dared not argue. He could only direct all his resentment toward Ethan. "You scoundrel, if it weren't for you, how could I lose face like this? You wait for me!" Ethan couldn't know any of this. At this point, he found himself in a complicated situation because Melanie was looking at him with eyes filled with resentment. Knowing that Melanie had undoubtedly discovered the matter between him and Victoria, Ethan could only smile bitterly, walked up to his wife, and said: “Honey, how about I take you to my workplace? Your injuries haven't healed completely, and I think I can only be at ease if I take you to my workplace!" "No need!" As soon as Ethan finished speaking, Melanie immediately rejected his words. Moreover, she deliberately brushed off her husband's hand and looked at him angrily. Victoria was not about to show any weakness either. She moved closer to Ethan and smiled, saying: “Ethan, why don't you let your wife go to wor
"What did you say?" Upon hearing Toshan's demand, Victoria's face changed. Bang! "What did you just say?" At that moment, Victoria's office door was kicked open, and a young man with a furious expression appeared, glaring at Toshan. Seeing Toshan standing outside earlier, Ethan felt suspicious of his intentions. Unable to contain himself, he eventually turned back. Under normal circumstances, Ethan wouldn't have been able to hear the conversation inside the office. After all, Victoria's workspace was well-soundproofed. Moreover, Toshan's voice was not loud. However, since acquiring the Artificial Superintelligence System's support, Ethan's physical constitution and sensory abilities have far surpassed those of ordinary people. So when he overheard Toshan's conversation with Victoria, he couldn't hold back and burst through the door. At that moment, both Toshan and Victoria were utterly stunned by Ethan's sudden appearance. "What did I say? Haven't you heard it all? Do I need to
“Destroy,” Ethan roared, swinging the Ancestor Blade powerfully. Countless beams of light converged on the sharp blade, launching a mighty attack against the skull.The Ivory Sage, not to be outdone, merged with the skull, which then seemed to gain intelligence. Its eyes glowed a ferocious red, and its enormous mouth seemed ready to swallow Ethan whole.The night and light, good and evil clashed, as if bringing the apocalypse.Black and white light intersected, splitting Mist Isle and the sea.The endless sea began to boil, everything disintegrating in moments.Then, under the white light, the terrible power exploded outward, with Ethan and the Ivory Sage standing at the center of it.“Retreat, quickly retreat,” Ricky and Green Dragon, astonished, commanded their armies to pull back.But they were too slow compared to the terrifying power.With a loud crash, dozens of warships were lifted tens of meters high, rocking violently.“Something’s wrong, protect the warships,” Green Dragon i
Whoosh!A terrifying roar echoed throughout heaven and earth. Under the majestic aura, a golden dragon flew towards the skull phantom after Ethan's strike.The next moment, a collision that shook heaven and earth occurred.Evil and righteousness, the skull and the golden dragon collided. The sky was enveloped in a bright light."Retreat, quickly retreat," they shouted in horror, leading their people to rapidly fall back.The members of the Ivory Guild also began to flee.Under that power, a moment's inattention could lead to being swallowed up.Even standing at a distance, they couldn't help but worry.The sea boiled, with waves hundreds of meters high surging and crashing down, the momentum reaching the skies, the earth seeming to tremble."Mr. Alexander," Hugo and Lily exclaimed in shock.Even Green Dragon and Christian frowned. The power displayed was beyond their imagination. At this point, it was not easy to determine who would win or lose.After ten minutes, the huge waves fina
After the Guild Master, whether they were Emperors, Kings, or Judge Law Enforcers, all knelt in succession."We welcome the Honored Ivory."The Honored Ivory?Behind Ethan, Green Dragon, Christian, Lily, and Hugo all frowned. No wonder the Ivory Guild was so arrogant. It turns out they had a master."The Honored Ivory, so it's real," Ricky muttered, his words tinged with caution: "Not bad, no wonder the Ivory Guild has existed for so long."In front, Ethan narrowed his eyes, saying nothing as if he wasn't surprised, even appearing somewhat expectant.Was the Honored Ivory the person he was looking for?Unnoticed by anyone, the sky grew cloudy, the drizzle turned heavy, giving a cold feeling like winter in summer.Moments later, a water spout shot up from below Mist Isle, quickly reaching hundreds of meters high.Observing closely, one could see a person standing on that spout, clad in a black cloak with a skull pattern, appearing majestic.Under that black cloak was a mask, hiding the
"Hmph, if you seek death, I'll oblige," Timothy grunted and moved to attack Ricky first.The battle ensued, a formidable power surging through the space."Christian, it's time to settle our scores," Solomon's three Judges from the Ivory Guild stepped forward, their faces filled with rage, seeking revenge on Christian."You think you're worthy? All three of you come at once," Christian said coldly."Christian, today you must die."The three Judges grimaced, their cold laughter intensifying as they lunged at Christian."Three against one, where's your honor? Green Dragon will join the fun," Green Dragon laughed and immediately stood beside Christian.The three Judges were the strongest under the Grand Mage, each at the tenth level. Christian alone might be at a disadvantage."Alright, let's see who kills more," Christian's fighting spirit surged as he licked his lips.Green Dragon wouldn't be outdone. Together, the five of them surrounded each other, their immense power enveloping the i
Christian frowned but remained calm. Just an octopus attempting to confront Mr. Alexander was indeed naive.Sure enough, moments later, the black slime suddenly changed to yellow, and the tentacles seemed to be put through a meat grinder, turning into hundreds of pieces. Blood and flesh splattered, filling the sea with a pungent smell of blood.The octopus howled in rage, burying its head in the water. It wasn't dead; it was trying to escape.But Ethan wouldn't let it get away so easily. His eyes cold, he raised the Ancestor Blade high and slashed towards the octopus.The vast sea seemed to split in two under the power of his sword, even the water parting. The octopus barely had time to escape before it was cut in half.A white light emitted from the octopus's body and then disappeared. Even Christian was amazed by the power within that light."Sir, this…" Christian started to say but his implication was clear. This octopus was indeed artificially created, and if there were a hundred
Seeing the armies before him, Ethan was deeply moved. Once, he was just an ordinary soldier, who had gone through tough wars to reach this day. Seeing his brothers, he saw himself in those glorious years. "Officers and soldiers, listen to my command." "Yes." After Ethan's shout, hundreds of thousands of soldiers echoed in unison. Whether it was Green Dragon, Lily, or Hugo, everyone appeared solemn, awaiting orders. "Ethan signaled for the army to board the warships, determined to eliminate the Ivory Guild today. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, invigorated, bravely embarked on the warships. The Ivory Guild's stronghold was five hundred meters from the Auroria border, reachable only by warship. It was imaginable that today marked a battle of life and death. How many of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers would survive and return was uncertain. Soon, hundreds of warships plunged into the vast sea, heading towards the Ivory Guild's lair. "Sir, according to intelligence, the
The Elders of the Emperor Clan, who had lived for over a hundred years and possessed extraordinary strength, regretted that even facing Ethan, they could only do so much. "If he wasn't arrogant, he wouldn't be Ethan," the head of the Lee family sighed. "Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, please visit the Wind and Mac families." "After decades of seclusion, it's time for our Emperor clan to emerge." After Ethan left Auroria, the entire Flower Nation was abuzz. The five major war zones and tens of thousands of soldiers and officers moved day and night, and wherever they passed, the people rejoiced and welcomed them. The mighty army marched southward to attack the Ivory Guild. As the most dangerous organization in Flower Nation, the Ivory Guild was a target that needed to be eliminated. At this time, Ethan became a hero by eliminating harm for the people and was warmly supported by the entire nation. Not only that, but all three Emperors, who had been in hiding for decades, also took this
Having said that, this person launched a cruel move towards the Heavenly Lord. The Heavenly Lord was unable to prepare in time and was killed immediately. “Okay, after dealing with that bad guy, next is the fight between us,” the head of the Ivory Guild glanced at Ethan. That Celestial Lord is nothing more than a puppet. The person behind the control and manipulation of the Ivory Guild is this Venerable. ……. Long Dao, Son Dinh. This is the place to worship the ancient Emperor. After thousands of years, only two people came here today. One person is Ethan, and the other person is the Venerable of the Ivory Guild who came because he was forced. The suppression of Ethan's great army caused all of this Venerable's subordinates to be defeated and have no way to retreat. At this time the Ivory Guild disbanded, only the Venerable of the Ivory Guild had to come here under Ethan's pursuit. When he arrived here, he saw Ethan standing on the mountain waiting for him. "Venerable Bach Cot
For example, at this moment, the strength he showed clearly surpassed the realm that Hoang Lao understood, so not long after the fight, Hoang Lao began to realize the problem, he began to scream. “Ethan, no matter how strong your strength is, you cannot destroy the Ivory Guild,” Hoang Lao said harshly. But unfortunately, Ethan in front of him just coldly cleared his throat: "Is that so?" After Old Man Hoang realized how strong Ethan was, he no longer restrained his body's strength. He used all his power, his main purpose was to kill Ethan. Seeing this, Ethan still stood as firmly as Mount Thai, not moving at all. At the same time, he clenched his fist and threw a punch, defeating all of Hoang Lao's defenses, making him basically unable to block. He was hit by a strong blow from Ethan, so he screamed in agony. “Ah…”, he was in extreme pain. Hoang Lao was so strong and yet at this moment he was defeated so easily, making the people around him surprised and speechless. They were un
